Cause for Celebration!!!

I have officially started to make profit!!! I was recording my expenses and profits today and realized that I have officially gotten back all the money I have invested and I am starting to make money!!! How exciting!   I have made $70.61 so far.  That is really cool because it takes so much time and money to have a business of any sort and I have put most of my expendable income into this for the past year, year and a half so it feels wonderful to say I haven't lost a nickel and I am starting to make profits!  I am so excited to see what the future of my little business will be.  My sister Marita is going to drop samples of my bags off at some boutiques for me so hopefully I will get some orders that way.  Well I thought that I would share my little bit of heaven for the day.  Talk to you soon!

I dont know where to start

  It seems life moves so quickly that in the matter of weeks we are entirely different people almost.  I have not been keeping up with my blogging ( or my art :(   lately because I have been traveling,going to weddings and seeing my family.  I am so grateful for all of the beautiful experiences I have had this summer, but I am equally grateful to what my experiences have shown me. 

  I would say the biggest thing I have learned is truly valuing my own space-both physical and non physical.  Traveling is great for the purpose of pulling you into a new reality, consuming all of your scenes so that it is a fruitless effort to bother yourself with your normal daily routines and concerns.  But I feel revitalized by sitting at my own desk and proud of my accomplishments that surround me in my own space.  The things I have created, the belongings that I pined for and earned, and even the bogs of raw materials calling for me to mold them into new form is beaming with possibility.
